Consumers hungry for nutritionally superior food that has been ethically produced are the target of giant factory farms that have muscled into organic agriculture. In certified organic egg production, some industrial-scale operations manage as many as two million hens on a single factory where they confine up to 200,000 birds in separate buildings. These corporate agribusinesses, mostly engaged in caged, conventional egg production, now dominate the organic egg market. At best, these factory farm eggs should be labeled "produced with organic feed," rather than bearing the USDA-certified organic logo.http://www.alternet.org/food/buyer-beware-high-percentage-organic-eggs-market-are-illegal
